PHOENIX SUPPERCLUB

The Phoenix Supperclub wouldn't turn heads in Miami or Ibiza, but in sensible Vienna? With its gleaming white interior, uplit in neon pink and electric blue, it's the antithesis of the trad coffee house. Banish all thoughts of Peter Kay and think instead of a camp, futuristic nightclub. Diners lounge/lie on super-sized seats drinking cocktails while entertainers dressed in outlandish costumes (think Barbarella in the style of pantomime) sing, juggle and play all manner of instruments. The (slightly odd) menu, which features 'subtly marinated Asia noodles in bloody mary with celery cream' and 'a trio of beluga lentil purees', makes a change from coffee and kuchen. Go in spring and your visit will coincide with an exhibition of eroticism in art at the BA CA Kunstforum
